The Glass City has nothing in the way
of q substantial ornament the monument
excluded, of course, to which she can
point with pride. She is unlike most
cities of like population in this respect re-
spect. Go where you may, it is seldom
that atown OF any size is found that has
not a park, or some nice, grassy spot III
which her people may repoSe on a pleasant
summer day. Now, our little city Tor
rather Mayor Brown is efforting to be like
other places. She wants a kind OF park,
and if nature doesn't 90 back on calcula-
lions, will have one. The vacant plot,
commonly called the 'tSquare," is to he
transformed to thing OF beauty, and 1t
it hoped that the transformation will &C.
II before another summer has
passed away. Bellaire is bleSt with q
great many men who feel that the we will
be materially benefited if the city has a
park, and have given what they have been
asked. Aside from these citizens there IS
another, class who would no doubt greatly
enjoy q shade and who worry because
there is none, but who, when solicited 10
aid in the establishment of M ideal sum
mer garden, whine and fret, and finally
wiggle away so that they escape. But
Notwithstanding the many drawbacks IN
cident to collecting money for the Park
fund Mayor Brown has succeeded
in raising 5000, and still continues with
the work. He is receiving 81 subscrip'
tiona now, and those who thought thai
$40 was too heavy 4 pull on them can
now show what they are made OF. There
should be one hundred citizens subscribe
s. each. II is our intention TO print each
Sunday n list of those who aid III the
cause. To-day the list of $40 subscribers
is given Us follows: \. L. Baron, W. /.
